Clue

A quote from Sarah after I won a second game of Clue in a row.
"You're not allowed to use (deductive) reasoning! We're ONLY kids!"

I've always wanted to go to...

A lot of places. I will share just a few.
Jerusalem/the Middle East
China
Egypt
Africa
New Zealand
The Northeast and South areas of our country (and spend more time on the East Coast)

I bring this up because I recently found a travel website with great deals. China for $1600 from SLC including gov't fees, visa, airfare, accomodations, breakfast, lunch & tours of the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Ming Tombs. Time to start planning! Who's coming with us?

Letters to Juliet

We went into the movie with low expectations, but we were pleasantly surprised. A romance that made us laugh so hard it should have been labeled a comedy! We were obviously not the target audience. I vaguely remember, a long time ago, around age 14, this would have made me swoon. I will leave the explaining to Eric D. Snider at ericdsnider.com, but say one more thing. I decided Ben and I should start a charity to raise money for Summit Entertainment. They are in desperate need of a camera that makes it possible to film scenes in a moving car. I don't know what their budget for the movie was, but a green screen, SERIOUSLY? : )

(Please read Eric Snider's review. You will not regret it!) Enjoy!

Hot Air Balloon

I won a hot air balloon ride from our city for the annual Art City days. We got up in the 5 o' clock hour to be there by 6am. The weather was horrible for ballooning and we did not go. But, I ALMOST got to ride a hot air balloon! And, as a side note, Ben's super secret folding method works. Really well.

Day Seven: At Sea

I tried surfing. The first time I bit it after 1 second. The second time I stayed up for five seconds.

Day Six: Cozumel

We took a taxi to a ferry, a 40 minute ferry ride to Playa De Carmen- met our tour guide and took a 40 minute car ride (in his Mercedes) to the ruins at Tulum. My inner archeologist was in heaven.

Day Five: Grand Cayman

Because of high waves, our tour of Stingray City was cancelled. We headed to Seven Mile Beach instead, rented Waverunners and enjoyed the sun. Ben and the Zimmermans did some snorkeling. We had our second formal night and celebrated our 15th anniversary. This trip has made me realize how much fun Ben and I are going to have together when we retire. We got to know and love our dinner mates and had/made them take a picture with us. : )
